This is the point . . .

In conclusion dudes and dudets i've gotten both side of the story and i've gotten more positive about PFT then the negative ones. I understand that there's lots of qualified and super talented pilots out there but i know for a fact that if money was there , pft would be accepted. And for the dudes that have 400 hours and think that have 10 logs come on take it easy.
I also read your posts below the one I've quoted. Just one comment at the outset:
My english , grammar is all good.
Your nouns and verbs do not agree. "English" should be capitalized. "English" and "grammar," as used in your sentence, are plural. "Is," as used in your sentence, is singular. "Are" is the correct verb in this instance.
You ask why people should care about your writing. You apparently don't care. For one thing, I had to read your comments several times to determine your points. As a suggestion, one's credibility is bolstered by the use of good English. You may be the best pilot in the world but you'll never get past H.R. if you cannot write a good cover letter. You may not have to be a perfectionist, but you do have to exhibit attention to detail. Not everyone can write like Hemmingway, or Ernest Gann, but one can at least spell words correctly (in the old days, "spell check" was a dictionary), proofread, and make their nouns and verbs agree. No, I'm not an English teacher. I have been a pilot, just like you, and was a flight instructor. I have produced written copy in three different professions.
Yes, at Gulfstream you might be "renting a seat" for 250 hours. But there
is the possibility that you can be hired as a real FO after you fly off your hitch, isn't there? The answer to that rhetorical question is "yes." I base my comment on what I've read elsewhere on this board about Gulfstream. Moreover, there are abundant comments on this board that Gulfstream does not hire street FOs (I understand that it hires street captains.). Therefore, it is clear that the only way one can be hired to be a Gulfstream FO is to pay for the training. Thus, you have purchased a job. As well as the enmity of (a great many of) your fellow aviators.
Having said all that, the $54,997 you have paid Gulfstream could be a pretty heavy wager. I don't like the odds of you being hired full-time at Gulfstream. While you might have 250 hours of "FO" time, you still will be short of PIC time, PIC multi time, and total time. Accordingly, you have made a good decision to earn your CFI. You'll need it to continue working. By the time you reach true regional mins those 250 hours may well be stale.
One more perspective. Yes, it is a "team." By paying for a job you have cut in line ahead of others. Maybe you don't care. But consider people who cut you off in traffic, which happens a lot on I-95 in Florida. How do you like it when that happens? Or people who cut in front of you at the supermarket or bank? They don't care, either. Are you willing to extend the hand of fellowship to such people? I doubt it. Expect the same from (a great many of) your peers by P-F-Ting.
I realize, N9103M, that I've said nothing new about P-F-T. But it had to be said again.
PS-Have we fallen victim to flamebait? Hmmm . . . . . .
Possibly the "accents" and "spelling" are fake and they do that just to "pretend" they are flying over seas.
